It's Time

Well, the time has come to say goodbye...to pop. Tomorrow I am starting my 'No Pop Diet'. I am giving pop up for multiple reasons.

It has a ton of sugar and calories! And if I'm going to lose weight drinking pop will only slow me down.

I think it is contributing to all of my stomach problems.

I've heard that people who give it up just feel better.

So, I am giving it up. Andy has not had a pop for over a month. Since he has given it up he has not had hardly any heartburn, he's barely snoring at night, he's lost a little weight, and he just feels better. I'm looking forward to any benefits it gives me, but I am wondering what in the heck am I going to drink? I only have 2 cans a day or 1 bottle, depending on whether I'm home or out and about so I'm not really drinking a ton of it but to think of having only water and milk all day every day? Eck, how boring. I don't like tea like Andy does so that's out. If I drink juice or lemonade I'm not really cutting out the calories and sugar. So I'm going to try to drink water and milk only and see where it takes me. I have a goal of losing 20lbs, 10 before we go to Vegas, so I'm hoping this will be a little jump start for me. And if the only benefit I get is feeling better and having less stomach problems it's totally worth it. I'm ready, although I am sure I will whine quite a bit the first week.
